The annual SwedGen Tour arrives this month to three lucky cities in the Pacific Northwest:

Portland, Oregon

Tacoma, Washington

Seattle, Washington

What is SwedGen? See their website for full details on all of the presentations and expert presenters, but in a nutshell (and translated from their website):

We are a group of Swedish genealogists who are passionate about emigration research. Together we have made a number of trips to the US to help the Swedish Americans to research their Swedish roots. We call our tours SwedGenTour.

During our travels, we have not only held lectures and guided the interested Americans by the Swedish church records, but we have also visited the Swedish American churches, cemeteries and even different types of archives and associations.

Here we want to share some of the material we have gathered over the years. We put out records and links to our content and greet all interested welcome to apply.Behind every item in our records are documents that we photographed on location in the United States. Contact us for copies.

Gravestone pictures we put into the grave inventory at the roots, but we often have additional information on the current cemeteries and buried stag descendants, please contact us.
